Brad had a vision of how everquest design should go, that doesn’t mean his coders implemented every detail exactly as Brad foresaw it. I’d take what Brad (rip) said with a pinch of salt as he had a grand vision for what eq should be and in his descriptions of the game he seemed to try to maintain that air of mystique.

theres nothing ambiguous about that quote. no "air of mystique" It's a direct line. There is nothing to misinterpret if you are literate.
If on P99 bow damage is based on STR then p99 is wrong. P99 devs probably couldn't get DEX to work right so they based bow damage on a melee damage format, which is increased by STR.
Melee dmg is so screwed on P99 so that should be your first indicator. It ebbs and flows with ~10 hits ~10 misses and repeat. on Live melee damage was more fluid with hits and misses interwoven.
